3. Description:

The kernel packages contain the Linux kernel, the core of any Linux
operating system.

Security Fix(es):

* kernel: bad kfree in auditfilter.c may lead to escalation of privilege
(CVE-2020-0444)

* kernel: locking issue in drivers/tty/tty_jobctrl.c can lead to an
use-after-free (CVE-2020-29661)

* kernel: performance counters race condition use-after-free
(CVE-2020-14351)

* kernel: ICMP rate limiting can be used for DNS poisoning attack
(CVE-2020-25705)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE
page(s) listed in the References section.

Bug Fix(es):

* [Hyper-V][RHEL-8] Request to included a commit that adds a timeout to
vmbus_wait_for_unload (BZ#1913530)

* [CKI kernel builds]: x86 binaries in non-x86 kernel rpms breaks systemtap
(BZ#1929908)

* rpmbuild cannot build the userspace RPMs in the kernel package when the
kernel itself is not built (BZ#1929912)
